| With this release, we finally bring an end to the long and difficult job of transforming Rosegarden from an obsolete KDE 3 application into a modern Qt 4 application. There was no precedent for an application following this upgrade path, and so we had to begin this process by writing our own custom porting tools. From there, we spent an entire year chipping away at an immense mountain of compiler errors before we could even get a glimpse to see if our new code was going to work. From that first peek until now swallowed the biggest part of a second year, digging into every dusty corner, and putting everything back in order. | With this release, we finally bring an end to the long and difficult job of transforming Rosegarden from an obsolete KDE 3 application into a modern Qt 4 application.

From that first peek until now swallowed the biggest part of a second year, digging into every dusty corner, and putting everything back in order. On the far side of this, we have fixed more than 1,000,000 compiler errors, changed about 90,000 lines of code, and added about 200 new files! |

| Along the way, we found plenty of opportunities to improve Rosegarden, and get this new codebase turned into an exciting landmark release that probably rivals 1.0 for the sheer amount of collective effort that went into its making. We have fixed hundreds of bugs, including many old bugs that had been around for years, and we have introduced dozens of new features. | Along the way, we found plenty of opportunities to improve Rosegarden, and get this new codebase turned into an exciting landmark release that probably rivals 1.0 for the sheer amount of collective effort that went into its making.
